Mini Grants

The Longmont Council for the Arts’ Mini-Grant Program is a collaborative effort with the City of Longmont, designed to help sustain and provide support to individual artists and small or emerging arts organizations throughout Longmont for the purpose of purchasing equipment for or pursuing projects in the areas of visual arts, music, dance, theatre, architecture, media, and literature.
